https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-type%20calcium%20channel | The Q-type calcium channel is a type of voltage-dependent calcium channel. Like the others of this class, the α1 subunit is the one that determines most of the channel's properties.
They are poorly understood, but like R-type calcium channels, they appear to be present in cerebellar granule cells. They have a high thr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access%20Linux%20Platform | The Access Linux Platform (ALP) is a discontinued open-source software based operating system, once referred to as a "next-generation version of the Palm OS," for mobile devices developed and marketed by Access Co., of Tokyo, Japan. The platform included execution environments for Java, classic Palm OS, and GTK+-based ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral%20flux | Spectral flux is a measure of how quickly the power spectrum of a signal is changing, calculated by comparing the power spectrum for one frame against the power spectrum from the previous frame.
More precisely, it is usually calculated as the L2-norm (also known as the Euclidean distance) between the two normalised s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount%20Rainier%20%28packet%20writing%29 | Mount Rainier (MRW) is a format for writable optical discs which provides the packet writing and defect management. Its goal is the replacement of the floppy disk. It is named after Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle, Washington, United States.
Mount Rainier can be used only with drives that explicitly support it (... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrastructural%20help | Intrastructural help (ISH) is where T and B cells cooperate to help or suppress an immune response gene. ISH has proven effective for the treatment of influenza, rabies related lyssavirus, hepatitis B, and the HIV virus. This process was used in 1979 to observe that T cells specific to the influenza virus could promot... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonuniform%20sampling | Nonuniform sampling is a branch of sampling theory involving results related to the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem. Nonuniform sampling is based on Lagrange interpolation and the relationship between itself and the (uniform) sampling theorem. Nonuniform sampling is a generalisation of the Whittaker–Shannon–Kotelnikov... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean%20dynamical%20thermostat | Ocean dynamical thermostat is a physical mechanism through which changes in the mean radiative forcing influence the gradients of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean and the strength of the Walker circulation. Increased radiative forcing (warming) is more effective in the western Pacific than in the eastern w... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking%20in%20the%20Rain%20%28The%20Ronettes%20song%29 | "Walking in the Rain" is a song written by Barry Mann, Phil Spector, and Cynthia Weil.

The song has since been recorded by many other arti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SnRNP | snRNPs (pronounced "snurps"), or small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, are RNA-protein complexes that combine with unmodified pre-mRNA and various other proteins to form a spliceosome, a large RNA-protein molecular complex upon which splicing of pre-mRNA occurs. The action of snRNPs is essential to the removal of introns f... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%20for%20Prediction%20Across%20Scales | The Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) is an Earth system modeling software that integrates atmospheric, oceanographic, and cryospheric modeling across scales from regional to planetary. It includes climate and weather modeling and simulations that were used initially by researchers in 2013. The atmospheric mode... |
